[COMP] PCI Modem on Linux

Howdy,

I have RedHat Linux 6.0 and am very limited in my use of it because my
hardware is not working - most importantly my modem isn't working (not to
mention my printer). I thought it was a lost cause until I can spare enough
money for a new serial modem because I have an Acer PCI modem that came with
my computer and thought that PCI devices cannot work with Linux. I believe
that Bruno's questions are dealing with installing a NIC card with a PCI
connection if Linux can recognize this then I'd assume a modem couldn't be
too hard. If this is something I need to download please recognize that I
can only access the net through Windows with my current knowledge.

I also am wondering if I am too reliant on the GUI to help me in Linux. Do
you seasoned users mainly use the terminal view? What are the benefits to
using one approach vs. the other?
